I'm pretty sure that's if you are eating salt by the handfuls but hey I'm no doctor so I could be wrong

You can always just ask your doctor but you are pregnant. Do you know why I constantly have to have sugar? Raw cookie dough, cake, fraps, candy bars. If its sugar its fair game. They call them cravings for a reason. Lol
